Yeah, I get what you mean. It becomes a bit of cat and mouse in whacking an enemy with a couple shots, dodging out the way or trying to parry then get a few more bits in. I found the hit, doge and hit then repeat tactic served me well enough with a specific opener to Ambush or if they spotted me, the lunge in and follow up triangle attack.
Right now, I'm pretty hooked on the game but it's not great for my OCD to try and make sure I get all the side quests and whatnot done. I'm trying to be as organic as I can with minimal use of guides except when I get stuck but having already read it's possible to get locked out of certain items after a specific point in the story and whatnot, I've slowed down the main story to focus on the side quests and everything else I can.
Probably going to use a guide soon because I have finally made it to the Great Desert area and now should be able to technically collect all the cans and finish up other stuff too on the side quests.
I think as a first game the developers really did a solid job, but I think I found some artistic choices hilarious. The certain scene in The Matrix level for example gave me a flashback to The Dark Knight Rises with Talia lmao.
Also, i know they probably couldn't motion capture everything but some of the NPC dialogue and animations don't really match the tone of the words they're saying. Hopefully for the sequel the developers focus on that area because I found some of the side quests to be well written and emotionally charged but outside of a couple, they don't put effort into that aspect.
I'll need to finish this game soon. I'm letting it ruin my routine and missing out on other stuff I should really focus on.
